Lisa, you scored with me. Taking on hundreds of redneck bozos takes guts.
You must have been reading my posts, because I have said the same thing
over and over and over again, almost to the point of ad infinitum & ad
nauseum.
Building cars in the 2000's with the balance (or lack of) of cars discarded
to the rubbish bin in the 1920's is the epitomy of hilarity. I never cease
to be amazed that so many fools are blowing their wads on those tipsy SUVs.
The problem with SUVs isn't fuel consumption. Its your gas. You can burn
it with a match for all I care. The problem is you SUV owners are going to
kill somebody with it because you are scared shitless to whip that steering
wheel back and forth to do a collision advoidance. You have no alternative
but to plow at full speed directly into some defenseless car full of kids
because if you try anything like steering around an emergency situation you
will flip and kill yourself first, before continuing your death slide into
your victims' car and taking them out as well.
There is a way. If it can be reasonably demonstrated (51%) that you could
have prevented a fatal by manuevering, but you didn't, I would charge you
with frustrated manslaughter. Even though its really your SUV's fault
because it steers like a battleship. I would also hold the manufacturer
accountable for peddling off an accident waiting to happen. Prosecute some
of those executives for conspiracy to commit unmitigated manslaughter.
Don't fine them...they've already made monetary allowances for fines and
judgments in the overcharges. Don't those trash heaps cost $30,000 and up?
One more thing for you out there that don't read my posts regularly. You
already know how tipsy SUVs are. But its worse than you think. When they
are loaded to maximum gross weight, including the roof rack load, they are
MORE TIPSY. And when fuel is minimum, they are MORE TIPSY YET. All things
considered, they are much much worse than you thought and worse than
CONSUMER REPORTS THINK ALSO. I suggest all you SUV owners organize and
launch a class-action suit to recover all the unused value (as if they had
any to start with) left in your SUVs, based on a straight-lin 10 year
depreciation. It will bankrupt the lenders, dealers, and manufacturers!
Take the money and run before you flip and kill yourself or ram somebody
and go to prison penniless.
Federal Government: In between wars, set up the DOT so it regulates and
certifies cars for roadworthiness just like you did private airplanes back
in the '30s. Don't let any cars be sold for the road unless they are
triple safe.

Yeah, it probably does. Almost as much as it takes to post to Usenet with a
fake name and anonymizing remailer software.
The trouble with Hortons is that they never know when to give up, even when
they are WRONG. Lisa must be a real close cousin. ;o)

It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance on a subject that can be
propagated by the media. My jacked up redneck SUV with big tires can
take any corner on any road at the posted speed limit. Explain to me
why that is not enough to be safe.
